It took 2 calls - the first asked me to wait a day or two for the night to post - but my account now shows a Qualified Night for the night I used the Cat 1-7 Award from last March.

The thing to do is to make the reservation in the name of the WOH member. Then add the father to the reservation so that he can check in. He'll have to provide a credit card for incidentals, but the WOH member gets the stay credit.

If you have yourself as a guest, then it isn't a GoH reservation.

Data point: I used my free cat 1-7 night for requalifying for globalist at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun and got a stay credit yesterday.
SECOND EDIT: After checking tonight, I did get a check mark next to Hyatt Ziva on the brand explorer

I wouldn't have had to book away from Hyatt when I was getting close to 60 had I known. I would have had 70, now probably at 68.
